STORY O TIE DEAL
The history or this peculiar schol land
dicker 113 as follows : In early years Elder
Young owned an eIghty on EIghteenth and
o streets , LIncoln He borrowed state school
.money , givIng the state a mortgage for $3.000
This land he subsequently sell , and bought
160 feet fronting on Eighteenth and 0 streets .
and also bought the northwest quarter ot
section O. town hlp 9 , range G , east. Then the
state released time mortgage o what land he
! sold en Eighteenth and 0 streets , and took
a mortgage on time quarter section descrIbed .
This quarter was a. , llmesle.d , was deede
had > been on the tax lIst and sold for , lnxes.
Owen & Oalcley bou'glt some in , and received
a tax tithe deed In some way time state had
permitted tlms deed to Issue without Int r-
posing. A lawsuit was the result , and II
went from the distrIct to the supreme court.
Finally , just before the ! explraUen oC the
tennis ot office ot Cowdry Stein and Leese
they compromised wIth Oakley by deeding
him the 160 feet on EIghtenth and a streets ,
and OaklE deeded the Eta te time quarter sec-
then . In consideration of $14,000.
This quarter sect on now became common
school land I was a valuable Improved
farm lying within one-hal mile ot he cIty
hiimoits . I was badly wanted , but II required
a petition ot 100 Crecholders to get It on the
market Yet the petition was torthcomlng
I was signed by State Journal and
state house Employes , and I few outside ot
those InsUutons , and presented to the Board
et Public Lands and Du'dlngs , I Is l a well
lmown tact that OVer hal eC the sIgners
wet not freeholders In the state cC Nebraska.
The petition was never certified to by the
county comrJssloners , as required by law ,
that the signers were feehoiders. In tact , It
wa. never presented to them at all.
On December 10 , 1800. the county commIssioners -
mIssioners receIved orders to "appraise said
sad
lands for leasing purposes , " which they did ,
appralsng ! It at frem $20 to $33 per acre
The following are the purchasers :
Joseph Burns , who was then putting In
water Plants for the state : Dan . puttng , who
was steward at time hospial ; Frank Iubord ,
who was a farm boss at the
